Over to you RobD....

If you look at the checklist on the V55 form, designed to ensure that you don't forget anything, insurance isn't on it.

I'll not waste any more time on this thread, I only responded to help the original poster, I don't give a s**t whether anyone believes me or not, when I phoned the DVLA to confirm I didn't need insurance they confirmed I didn't and I got a v5 with no issues. If people want to follow your advice and insure their scooters, crack on

Doesnt thay just mean you dont have to produce it becouse they already have it ?

Proof is in the pudding as they say, not necessarily in the pudding that answered your email at the DVLA...

It would appear so

I wonder if it's the fact that your D and this '59 SII were both MOT exempt that let them slip through the insurance net?

[RobD]

I don't know, I would have thought that they are exclusive, you can get insurance without an MOT and vice versa.

I was made aware of the change in the DVLA requirements by a bloke who imports scooters from india and so I would think all of his are post 1960. I was sceptical myself until I read the latest V55 guidlelines and then went through the process and it wasn't a requirement.

It may be to do with the move to ANPR enforcement of MOT, road tax and insurance and everything being held on a database. I don't think the D is taxed so it may be that when I come to tax it I won't be able to without insurance?
